Adding Text Overlays

Adding Text

1. In the video editor, click the "Text" button in the toolbar.
2. A new text element appears on the timeline and in the preview.
3. Type your text in the text editing panel.
4. Drag the text element on the timeline to control when it appears and disappears.

Positioning

Drag the text element in the preview panel to position it anywhere on the frame. Use alignment guides that appear automatically to center text or align it to edges.

Styling Options

• Font family — Choose from available fonts.
• Font size and weight — Adjust size and boldness.
• Color — Set text color and optional stroke/outline.
• Background — Add a colored background behind the text.
• Animation — Apply entrance and exit animations (fade, slide, etc.).

Saved Text Overlays

Save any text overlay for quick reuse. Click the save icon on a text element to add it to your saved overlays. Saved overlays are cached locally and appear in the "Saved" tab of the text panel, so you can drop them onto any timeline in one click.

Text Overlay Variants in Sequences

When building modular sequences, you can add text overlay variants that change across permutations. For example, different headline copy on each variation — multiplying your test matrix even further. Configure this in the sequence settings under "Text Overlays."
